Hi,
I'm trying to get a total time it takes from the starting time of 1:06:42pm until 7:59:47pm. The answer would be... 6hrs 53 min and 5 secs. Any ideas how to accomplish this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @BGlost ,
According to my understanding, you want to convert timediff to the format of Hour&Minute&Second,right?
Please try this:
Hour&Min&Sec =
VAR _diff =
DATEDIFF ( MAX ( 'Table'[Start] ), MAX ( 'Table'[End] ), SECOND )
VAR _h =
MOD ( INT ( _diff / ( 60 * 60 ) ), 24 )
VAR _m =
MOD ( INT ( _diff / 60 ), 60 )
VAR _s =
MOD ( _diff, 60 )
RETURN
_h & "hrs " & _m & "mins " & _s & "secs"The final output is shown below:
Best Regards,

You can use a measure, i feel little faster loading time with this
TimeDiff = CONVERT(SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Date1],0)-SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Date2],0),DATETIME)
and then change the format to time hh:mm:ss
or maybe this post below help you..

Have you tried using DATEDIFF yet? It's fairly simple to add and allows you to define your start, end and chosen interval (hours, seconds, days, etc).
